Don’t let others Negotiate your Marriage

My husband and I have been married for two blissful years.

Within our years of matrimony, we are learning that outside sources can belittle your bliss. Those sources can also tense your bond, and cause your marriage braid to fray.

Do NOT let that happen! Put up blockades and set boundaries to stop traffic of tension within your romantic realm.

Outside sources that negotiate your marriage:

Immediate family that negotiates the peace treaty within your marriage and causes chaos.
Friends that cling to you or your spouse, negotiating unwanted attention.
Activities or groups that negotiate the quality time spent with your spouse.
Sinful acts that splutter red ink upon the sanctity of the marriage contract.

Foreign frivolities can dampen the treaty of your marriage that you have negotiated with your husband or wife. Outside sources can wet the paper and tear at your hearts causing arguments.

Do NOT let that happen!

Distance yourself from family (but pray for them) that slyly signs your marriage treaty with stress.
Set up orange cones, setting barriers against bludgeoning outsiders of discord.
Always make your husband or wife a priority over negotiations of busyness.
Flee temptation and do not sign the “sin treaty”.

Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." Mark 10:9

As a married couple you have negotiated a peaceful treaty of marriage, do not let others or things, coarse that constitution.

"Memory Day" Memories

“Memory Day” Memories August 11 th , 2008 will always be etched in my mind. Why? Do you ask? That was the day the leading man in my life went home, my dad, Bob J. O’Banion. He was my encourager, support system, teacher, boulder, and most importantly, a godly leader. When you needed a hand, both of his calloused hands were there to hug, shake, and give you a pat on the back. When you needed Christian advice, his wisdom traveled from his can line to yours. With the can pressed against your ear, you’d hear, “God is the way, the truth, and the light.” He was a true definition of a man, a sovereign man. Integrity made him a humble guide through the Blueridge Mountains, the dry desert, and beyond. Love lined his face with deep canyon wrinkles. He sought and dug ditches to provide. The rooftop was his “day home”. Sun-tanned skin branded him a “sweat by the brow” toiler. Family sto...

Seasonal Change

The loss of my dad still hurts, especially when seasons change. . For those who have lost a loved one, the aching still seems to pulsate through the cracks left upon our hearts. . Seasonal change can breeze in bronzes of bereavement. It can fall with ambers of aches and molasses colored missing. . For me, this is true about Autumn. The leaves change once again, and my dad’s memory wafts o’er red-roofed wishing wells. The shallow water collects pennies of “wish you were here” under Birch trees. . Seasons and holidays blow in memories that patina the past. . Those who have lost a parent, we think upon childhood memoirs. Instances where we held our mom or dad’s hands, while strolling under amber stained glass etched with maple leaves. . I think upon harvest memories where the jack-o-lanterns flow, and the crockpot chili steams in bowls. . My dad walks behind my brother and I as we prance towards candy. In seasonal memory “trick-or-treats” bounce of...

Eradication of Women

Eradication of the Woman . The biological woman is being eradicated second by second with secularistic folly. . The woman is being black-washed with worldly paint that is stained with sinful strips of stupidity. . The life of a woman is being subdued by subterranean slyness. In the tunnels of dark thoughts, biology is being hidden in the crevices of craftiness. God’s nature and order are being covered by demonic dirt. . - Nature: God has given us fierce feminine genes that only the true woman can bare. A man cannot possess these genes with a fickle change of temporary thought. - Order: Womanly empowerment does not embody a man. As the character, Eowyn, boldly hailed as she slayed evil in Tolkien’s, Lord of the Rings, “I am no man!” . No ladies, we are women…women of God! We are poised with difference and uniquely special. We are biologically beautiful, and men cannot “think” themselves into our territory of traits. . In today’s lifeless and uncharted societ...
